What Are the Grounds to Rescind a Real Estate Contract in Florida?
According to Florida law, a buyer or seller is able to terminate a residential real estate contract and walk away from the deal without penalty by seeking rescission. Rescinding a real estate contract means the contract is considered to have no force and effect from the beginning or that the contract is canceled. In some Florida real estate contracts, rescission will be written into the contract, but if rescission is not included in the terms of the original contract that does not mean the contract cannot be canceled. Some of the ways you may be able to get out of a real estate contract through rescission are as follows:
- You were sold landlocked property and the seller is unable to provide you with legal access to the property you purchased
- You were a victim of real estate fraud
- There is a title defect that cannot be remedied
- You were a victim of a mistake in which you were not made aware of the details of the contract before it was signed
If you believe that you may have grounds for the rescission of your real estate contract in Florida, there are several steps to take to get out of the contract legally:
- You should go over the contract to ensure that you have legal grounds to cancel the contract
- If there is no contract provision that allows for rescission, investigate whether there is a cause of action under Florida’s common law that will allow you to get out of the contract
- Get the help of a trusted Florida real estate lawyer who may help you collect evidence needed for your case to be successful and provide you with trusted representation
